2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Article I, § 10 of the Constitution forbids the States from passing any “ex post facto Law.” California Department of Corrections, et al v. Morales, 514 U.S. 499 , 115 S.Ct. 1597 , 131 L.Ed.2d 588 (1995). The Ex Post Facto Clause is aimed at laws that “retroactively alter the definition of crimes or increase the punishment for criminal acts.” [[Image here]] ... this court, with respect to the Louisiana Ex Post Facto Clause, stated in State ex rel. Glover [v. State], 93-2330 (La.9/5/95), 660 So.2d 1189, 1200 , that an ex post facto law is one passed “after the commission of an offense which in relation to that offense or its punishment alters the situation of a party to his disadvan tage.” ... Therefore, to qualify under Glover as an ex post facto law, the suspect legislation: (1) must be passed after the date of the offense, (2) must relate to the offense or its punishment, and (3) must alter the situation of the accused to his disadvantage. (Emphasis added).”
